Massaccesi Handbags

[afroken]

I went back and looked at my soulmate and it is very minor. I don't want to scare anyone off of ordering velvet verona because it is really beautiful! I think in part the minor rubbing I see has to do with the soulmate style itself -- there is a lot of material that folds and touches the ground, creating more friction or floor contact than, say, the Bouquet.

Good to know, this makes sense. I remember your velvet verona soulmate, it’s got that deep mauve shade and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a leather colour quite like it.

I am going to be living vicariously for a while through all of your orders. It has taken a lot of discipline for me not to jump on the vacchetta train, but I just bought a bag from another company before this promo hit. Grow, money tree, grow!

In the mean time, I will continue to enjoy using my Little Valerie in pirate cuoio toscano as my most-used MM bag during COVID (prior to COVID, it was the Modena for everyday office). Someone asked about that leather for structured and unstructured bags. I can say that it has held up really well on my little structured satchel.

Same with me, I’m skipping this promo too. I bought a few Coach bags on sale before this promo came along so I need to sit on my hands.

My rust brown vacchetta Little Selene arrived tonight. I will take more pictures tomorrow in the daylight, but for anyone thinking about the Rust Brown Vacchetta, it is beautiful. The leather has some variation to it, which I really love.

This is a gorgeous shade

The problem is I keep ordering more while I wait

I remember being guilty of this myself when I first got into MM.

Oh @Kimbashop, when you have time, could you post a picture? Especially for the new MM fans! I know that's an under-appreciated style!

yes, first thing tomorrow! it has held up really well. I just cleaned and conditioned it. In the meantime, please enjoy this photos from a year or so ago. This is the Little Valerie in Pirate Red Cuoio Toscano, dark red edge paint, and silver hardware. It also comes with a crossbody strap, which is generally how I carry it.

I took some additional pictures in the daylight of my new Rust Handmade Vacchetta bag. It is definitely one of those leathers that looks very different depending on the lighting. The contrast stitching is beige, the interior is beige fabric, and the hardware is dark gunmetal. I almost got gold hardware instead of the dark gunmetal, but I don't really like gold hardware. I'm so glad I went with the dark gunmetal. It gives it a bit of an edgier look.

I also received my new Hera yesterday. It's in Dark Brown Aquila Matte with sage lining. This is my first bag in Aquila Matte. Marco told me it is a very underrated leather, and I have to agree. It's very soft to the touch. It works great with Hera. I also really like the sage lining. It's a much softer green than what I expected.

This is beautiful I love the green with the brown! What do you think of the Aquila matte? I’m debating a full Hera eventually but not sure what leather. This looks beautiful and huggable!

This bag is just stunning! Love the dark gunmetal hardware. Thought this leather was beautiful but like everyone else though gold hardware would probably work better. Thrilled to know that is not the case I just ordered two bags, not the promo leather. I may have to reconsider!

I really love the Aquila Matte leather. I bought a Hera not too long ago in Camel Suede, and Marco used the dark brown Aquila Matte for the handle. It was not on my radar before I got that bag. It has a really nice feel to it -- soft and maybe slightly velvety. I also like how it drapes on Hera.

Does anyone here have both the little Tulipano and the little Selene? I would love to see comparison pics and hear your thoughts. Tulipanos are not on Marco's website, so I can't compare. TIA!

Here are the comparison photos of Little Tulipano (diamond leather pewter and platinum) and Little Selene (dark teal Sorrento with purple lining and purple edge paint)
They are very similar in size except the Little Selene because it is unstructured is wider and can hold a little more)

Wow, this is so pretty, and what a chameleon! I’m really strongly considering this color! I know you said it looks different in different lighting, but is there one shade/photo that you feel is what you see the majority of the time?

Gorgeous leather and color! You really captured the dark red-brown undertones. the contrast stitching works perfectly with it, too.

Thank you!!!! This is very helpful.

LADIES!!!!

Marco is considering the possibility of creating a pattern for a smaller Charlotte satchel! Would anyone else be interested? Surely I am not the only one who would love to have one. If you do, please tells us now. Pretty please with cherry on top?

I'd say the first picture in my post today where it is outdoors on the wood chair is closest to what it looks like most of the time. The other ones in the sunlight wash the color out in the photo quite a bit.
